| | "No Fault" Divorce Law | | | Many states have enacted no fault divorce laws, pursuant to which residents can obtain a divorce without establishing that the other party did something wrong. Typically, the trial court is permitted to grant a divorce if it finds that the marriage relationship has broken down to the extent that the objects of matrimony have been destroyed and there is no reasonable likelihood that the marriage can be preserved. Depending upon state law, issues of "fault" may still be relevant to child custody and the division of property. |

When she was up for confirmation, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan
provided the Senate with a list of 11 pending cases in which she would
recuse because of her participation as solicitor general. In a routine
order list issued Friday, Kagan indicated she was not participating in
an additional case -- the vaccine liability case of Bruesewitz v.
Wyeth, set for argument Oct. 12. But the government's brief in the
case is signed by Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal, so why would
Kagan have recused?
Claiming breach of contract and other charges, five former partners from the defunct Boca Raton, Fla., office of Hodgson Russ are suing top partners of the Buffalo, N.Y.-based law firm. The former Boca Raton partners insist they were blindsided by the firm's decision last year to close the office, which they claim violated their rights under the firm's partnership agreement. The shutdown came in the midst of mass layoffs at law firms nationally as the recession took its toll on client demand and legal fee collections.
Batson v. Kentucky, the U.S. Supreme Court precedent that bars discrimination against potential jurors due to their race, gender or ethnic background, can also be used to protect the right of hunters to serve on juries, a New York judge has suggested. The judge called a halt to the trial of a hunter charged with assault for shooting another hunter after the defense attorney issued peremptory challenges to six of 35 potential jurors who had identified themselves as hunters.
